Since Mitchell Robinson went down on Dec. 8th in Boston,
Isaiah Hartenstein has grabbed more offensive rebounds (45) than any player in the NBA – 3:27 PM

Clippers are always unpredictable in matinee games
But this reminds me of three weeks ago: playing a 3-point heavy team after a road back to back
Matinee shooting is something to keep an eye on! When Warriors shot blanks after halftime, Clippers came back. Let’s see today… – 3:24 PM

Sounds like it’ll be even more of a Celtics home game than usual today. Holiday probably helps.
(Christmas, not Jrue, although he is from here) – 3:19 PM

Obviously disappointing that we don’t get a Tatum/Brown vs Kawhi/PG game. Even if it happens next month, Clippers will be in Boston in second night of a back to back.
Would be a blessed Finals matchup though… – 2:44 PM

The Knicks are in a weird spot post-Robinson injury. They don’t have enough size to beat Boston/Milwaukee/Philly in a series but they don’t have enough firepower to make them sweat, either. I’m not sure what the moves are. Feels like it’s 2 moves not one. – 2:38 PM

No Kawhi, Porzingis today and possibly no Tatum is a bummer, but it could still be interesting to see Brown and White lead the kind of fast, active attack they did in SAC vs. Harden and George. @LawMurrayTheNU and I discussed both teams last night: youtube.com/live/AJ0gC5oSP… – 2:04 PM

Tyronn Lue says again that Leonard is still day to day.
Next opportunity to play will be on the first day of Kwanzaa. Would be five day-to-days off for Kawhi by that point – 1:50 PM

Some matchup rankings headed into Celtics at LA for Saturday afternoon
The Celtics offense is pretty much shoot as many 3s as possible. The Celtics defense is pretty much you won’t get anything but 3s, and good luck out shooting them from there (see Celtics offense). pic.twitter.com/nXNhTeziYc – 12:08 PM

Trayce Jackson-Davis felt the most level of pre-draft interest from the Kings, Celtics, Pacers, Nets and Warriors. Teams offered him a two-way contract. The Warriors were willing to give him a guaranteed deal. So he was maneuvered there at #57. theathletic.com/5158386/2023/1… – 11:31 AM
